Since I mostly hung out on VHF, and had to finance my habit out of paper route sales, Collins wasn't in the picture. I started out with a Hallicrafters SX-71 and a homebrew transmitter on 50mc. There were several US gear manufacturers then that could be compared with Leica for reliability and quality but none from Europe that I can think of. JB
